Overview

Provided herein are methods for improved allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein retain graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effects of HCT administered to a subject with a cancer, while preventing or reducing graft versus host disease (GVHD).

HCT is the transplantation of multipotent hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), usually derived from donor bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood, into a recipient. The recipient can be subjected to myeloablative conditioning, which can kill hematopoietic cells including tumor cells and host immune cells. The HSPCs transferred into the recipient can then reconstitute the hematopoietic compartment. HCT can be useful as a treatment for cancer due to the ability of donor T cells to exert anti-tumor effects, referred to as graft versus tumor (GVT). In patients with hematologic malignancies that are refractory to chemotherapy, HCT is associated with improved survival.

However, donor T cells can also attack non-tumor host cells, resulting in graft versus host disease (GVHD). GVHD is a major source of post-HCT complications, and can be fatal. Management of GVHD can require immunosuppressive therapy or cytotoxic mediations, which can cause toxicity, increase susceptibility to infection, or blunt anti-tumor immunity. The early morbidity and mortality associated with acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) is a major factor limiting the success of HCT, as is the long-term morbidity associated with chronic GVHD (cGVHD). GVHD is a risk for both HLA-matched and—mismatched transplantations. GVHD can occur even if the donor and recipient are HLA-matched, because the immune system can still recognize other differences between their tissues. The incidence of aGVHD following allogeneic HCT from an HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD) is 20 to 60%, despite the use of various immunosuppressive agents.

Both GVT and GVHD are largely mediated by conventional T cells (Tcons), which mount immune responses upon recognition of cognate antigen by T cell receptors. Depleting T cells from HCT grafts can reduce GVHD, but can also result in reduced GVT and increased likelihood of cancer relapse. Besides Tcons, Tregs are an additional subset of T cells that negatively regulate inflammation and promote immune tolerance. Tregs can prevent or reduce GVHD through their negative regulation of inflammation, including, for example, inflammation elicited by donor Tcons recognizing recipient antigens.

Provided herein are methods for improved HCT, comprising administering to a subject certain populations of cells, including a population comprising HSPCs, a population comprising Tregs, and a population comprising Tcons. Without wishing to be bound by theory, administering Tregs can reduce GVHD, while administering Tcons enhances GVT; thus, the present disclosure provides methods for administering both to enhance GVT while minimizing GVHD. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these beneficial aspects of the present invention may be linked to the order of administering cells as described herein (e.g., administration of Tregs prior to Tcons), or to a lack of cryopreservation of Tregs prior to administration. Accordingly, the methods disclosed herein can retain the graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effects of HCT administered to a subject with a cancer, while preventing or reducing graft versus host disease (GVHD). In some embodiments, two or more populations of cells are administered at different times, for example, HSPCs and Tregs can be administered prior to Tcons.

One or more populations of cells can be fresh, and one or more populations of cells can be cryopreserved prior to thawing and administering to a subject. Without wishing to be bound by theory, administering fresh Tregs can reduce GVHD in a subject, and/or administering cryopreserved Tcons can reduce GVHD in a subject. For example, administering cryopreserved Tcons after fresh Tregs can reduce GVHD in a subject, promote GVT in a subject, or promote GVT in a subject in the absence of GVHD.

The present disclosure also provides a population of cells comprising Tregs that is sorted to generate a population of cells comprising a high percentage of Tregs. In some embodiments, administering a population of cells comprising a high percentage of fresh Tregs prior to administering Tcons reduces GVHD in a subject.

Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Cancer

Provided herein are methods wherein a recipient subject having a cancer receives a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). The HCT can be useful for treating or reducing cancer in the subject. In some embodiments, a population of conventional T cells (Tcons) is administered to the subject in order to elicit graft-versus-tumor (GVT) immune responses.

Patients with high risk hematologic malignancies are rarely cured with standard chemotherapy. High risk malignancies include, for example, leukemia or lymphoma that has progressed beyond first remission, or leukemia or lymphoma with refractory relapse. Myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is associated improved survival in these patients, with disease free survival ranging from 10-50% and non-relapse mortality ranging from 30 to 50%.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is the transplantation of multipotent hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. HSPCs can have extensive self-renewal capacity, and an ability to differentiate into specialized cell types, for example, an ability to reconstitute all hematopoietic cell lineages. HSPCs can undergo asynchronous replication, where two daughter cells are produced with different phenotypes. Hematopoietic stem cells can exist in a mitotically quiescent form.

HSPCs can be obtained by harvesting from bone marrow or from peripheral blood. Bone marrow can be aspirated from the posterior iliac crest or the anterior iliac crest while the donor is under either regional or general anesthesia. HSPCs can be obtained by harvesting from peripheral blood, for example, by peripheral blood apheresis. The number of stem cells harvested can be increased by treating the donor with a mobilization agent, i.e. an agent that mobilizes stem cells from the bone marrow into peripheral blood. Non-limiting examples of mobilization agents include granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), mozobil, and combinations thereof. Techniques to mobilize stem cells into peripheral blood can comprise administering to a donor, for example, 10 to 40 u/kg/day of a mobilization agent. A mobilization agent can be administered to the donor in, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 doses. An apheresis product can be isolated from a donor about, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, or 30 hour(s) after a dose of mobilization agent.

The methods of the disclosure can be used for treating a human subject with a cancer. In some embodiments, the subject has been treated for cancer, e.g. by treatment with a chemotherapeutic drug or with radiation. The methods of the disclosure can be useful for treating, a hematologic malignancy, for example, leukemia or lymphoma. Examples of hematologic malignancies that can be treated by the methods of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), multiple myeloma, and lymphomas such as Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. A cancer can be a solid tumor. In some embodiments, the cancer is a primary or metastatic tumor.

The types of cancer that can be treated using the methods of the present invention include but are not limited to leukemia, lymphoma, adrenal cortical cancer, anal cancer, aplastic anemia, bile duct cancer, bladder cancer, bone cancer, bone metastasis, brain cancers, central nervous system (CNS) cancers, peripheral nervous system (PNS) cancers, breast cancer, cervical cancer, childhood Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, colon and rectum cancer, endometrial cancer, esophagus cancer, Ewing's family of tumors (e.g. Ewing's sarcoma), eye cancer, gallbladder cancer, gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, gestational trophoblastic disease, hairy cell leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, kidney cancer, laryngeal and pharyngeal cancer, acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, children's leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, lung carcinoid tumors, male breast cancer, malignant mesothelioma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative disorders, nasal cavity and paranasal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, neuroblastoma, oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer, osteosarcoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, penile cancer, pituitary tumor, prostate cancer, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, salivary gland cancer, sarcomas, melanoma skin cancer, nonmelanoma skin cancers, stomach cancer, testicular cancer; thymus cancer, thyroid cancer, uterine cancer (e.g. uterine sarcoma), transitional cell carcinoma, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer, mesothelioma, squamous cell or epidermoid carcinoma, bronchial adenoma, choriocarinoma, head and neck cancers, teratocarcinoma, and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Graft Versus Host Disease

The present disclosure provides methods for improved hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT), wherein GVHD is reduced or prevented. In some embodiments, an HCT recipient subject is administered populations of cells described herein, and the recipient subject does not develop GVHD within certain spans of time after administration of the cells (e.g, within 30, 100, or 200 days). For example, populations of cells described herein can be administered to an HCT recipient subject, and the likelihood of the recipient subject developing GVHD can be reduced within certain spans of time after administration of the cells, relative to a subject receiving HCT according to a different protocol (e.g, within 30, 100, or 200 days). A population of cells comprising Tregs can be administered to an HCT recipient subject, and the population of Tregs can serve to reduce or prevent GVHD in the HCT recipient subject. A population of cells comprising fresh Tregs can be administered to an HCT recipient subject, and can serve to reduce or prevent GVHD in the HCT recipient subject. In some embodiments, a population of cells comprising a high proportion of Tregs (e.g., CD4+FOXP3+ or CD4+CD25+CD127dim cells) is administered to an HCT recipient subject, and serves to reduce or prevent GVHD in the HCT recipient subject.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an inflammatory disease that can occur in the allogenic transplant setting. GVHD involves donor cells (graft) attacking recipient cells (host). GVHD can be classified into acute GVHD (aGVHD) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD). aGVHD typically occurs in the first 3 months after transplantation. aGVHD can be life-threatening and can involve, for example, the skin, the intestines, and/or the liver. cGVHD typically occurs after the first 3 months following transplant. cGVHD is a major source of late treatment-related complications, and can be life-threatening. In addition to inflammation, cGVHD can lead to the development of fibrosis, which can result in functional disability.

The early morbidity and mortality associated with acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) is a major factor limiting the success of HCT, as is the long-term morbidity associated with chronic GVHD (cGVHD). The incidence of aGVHD following allogeneic HCT from an HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD) is 20 to 60%, despite the use of various immunosuppressive agents such as tacrolimus, cyclosporine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, anti-thymocyte globulin and corticosteroids. Approximately one-third of patients who undergo allogeneic HCT using a MSD and a T cell replete graft will develop chronic GVHD.

GVHD severity can be graded, for example, using the Glucksberg grade (I-IV) or the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (IBMTR) grading system (A-D). The severity of acute GVHD is determined by an assessment of the degree of involvement of the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. The stages of individual organ involvement are combined with (Glucksberg) or without (IBMTR) the patient's performance status to produce an overall grade, which can have prognostic significance. Grading is important in terms of assessing the response to prophylaxis or treatment, impact upon survival, and association with graft-versus-leukemia effect.

Grade I(A) GVHD is characterized as mild disease, grade II(B) GVHD as moderate, grade III(C) as severe, and grade IV(D) life-threatening. The IBMTR grading system defines the severity of acute GVHD as follows: Grade A: stage 1 skin involvement alone (maculopapular rash over <25 percent of the body) with no liver or gastrointestinal involvement; Grade B: stage 2 skin involvement, stage 1 to 2 gut or liver involvement; Grade C: stage 3 involvement of any organ system (generalized erythroderma; bilirubin 6.1 to 15.0 mg/dL; diarrhea 1500 to 2000 mL/day); Grade D: stage 4 involvement of any organ system (generalized erythroderma with bullous formation; bilirubin >15 mg/dL; diarrhea >2000 mL/day OR pain OR ileus). Patients with moderate to severe GVHD have a significantly higher mortality rate compared with those with milder disease, for example, estimated five year survival for patients with grade III (C) aGVHD is 25%, while for patients with grade IV (D) estimated five year survival is 5%.

Management of GVHD may require immunosuppressive therapy (for example, high dose corticosteroids, prolonged administration of immunosuppressants) or cytotoxic mediations, all of which are associated with toxicity. In many cases, immunosuppressive therapies can fail to effectively treat GVHD, or can result in increased susceptibility to infection, or blunted anti-tumor immunity.

Subsets of immune cells, such as conventional T cells (Tcons), regulatory T cells (Tregs), invariant natural killer T cells (iNKTs), and memory T cells (Tmems) can contribute to aspects of GVHD following HCT, and can also contribute to, for example, GVT immune responses, immune reconstitution, infection susceptibility, and survival.

Disclosed herein are methods comprising administering populations of Tcons and Tregs to an HCT recipient subject. In some embodiments, iNKTs are also administered. In some embodiments, Tmems are also administered. The disclosure provides parameters for administering these populations of cells that contribute to successful clinical outcomes in HCT recipient subjects. Without wishing to be bound by theory, parameters that can contribute to successful clinical outcomes in HCT recipient subjects include, for example, populations administered, order and timing for the administration of different populations, purity standards for populations, methods for obtaining populations, methods of handling or storing populations (e.g., use of fresh versus frozen cell populations), dosages of populations administered, methods for obtaining populations, and combinations thereof.

GVHD is mediated in large part by donor T cells, which can elicit inflammatory responses upon recognition of recipient antigens. T cell depletion (TCD) of donor grafts can be undertaken to decrease the likelihood of acute and chronic GVHD. T cells can be depleted using methods including, but not limited to, physical adsorption of T cells to protein ligands such as lectins, immunodeletion with T cell specific antibodies, and immunoaffinity techniques (for example, use of T cell or lymphocyte-specific antibodies in immunoadsorption columns, magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS), or fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS)). Applying TCD techniques to donor grafts can result in 10-fold to 10⁵-fold depletion of T cells, and reduced incidence of GVHD. However, TCD can also result in increased incidence of cancer relapse, as the lack of T cells can reduce graft-versus-tumor (GVT) immune responses. Additionally, TCD can result in impaired immune recovery, and increased susceptibility to infections.

Both GVT and GVHD are largely mediated by conventional T cells (Tcons), which mount immune responses upon recognition of cognate antigen by T cell receptors (tumor antigens for GVT, non-tumor recipient antigens for GVHD). Tcons can, for example, contribute to GVT, GVHD, or a combination thereof. Without wishing to be bound by theory, administration of Tcons after administration of Tregs can enhance GVT immunity, and/or reduce susceptibility to infection.

As used herein, Tcons can broadly refer to all CD3+ T cells, cells expressing medium to high levels of CD127, cells expressing CD3 and medium to high levels of CD127, or cells expressing CD3, medium to high levels of CD127, and CD4 or CD8. In some embodiments, Tcons do not express Vα24Jα18 TCR. Tcons and Tregs can be non-mutually-exclusive cell populations. In some embodiments, Tcons and Tregs are mutually exclusive cell populations.

Regulatory T cells (“Tregs”) are a specialized subpopulation of T cells that can suppress activation of the immune system and thereby maintain immune tolerance. Without wishing to be bound by theory, populations of Tregs as administered by methods of the disclosure can contribute to positive clinical outcomes by, for example, reducing or preventing GVHD in a transplant recipient, and/or improving immune reconstitution in a transplant recipient. Administering Tregs with HSPCs prior to administering conventional T cells (Tcons) can, for example, facilitate retention of graft versus tumor (GVT) and prevention of GVHD. Administering Tregs with HSPCs prior to administering conventional T cells (Tcons) can, for example, facilitate retention of graft versus tumor (GVT) and reduces GVHD relative to alternate HCT methods. Administering Tregs with HSPCs prior to administering conventional T cells (Tcons) can, for example, facilitate retention of graft versus tumor (GVT) effects with reduced risk of GVHD relative to alternate HCT methods. Without wishing to be bound by theory, administering Tregs can prevent GVHD, and administering Tcons can promote GVT effects, for example, relative to alternate HCT methods. In some embodiments, administering Tregs reduces the risk of developing GVHD, and administering Tcons promotes GVT effects relative to alternate HCT methods.

There are various types of Tregs, for example, TCRαβ+CD4+ regulatory T cells, which include natural regulatory T cells (nTregs) and induced regulatory T cells (iTregs). nTregs are T cells produced in the thymus and delivered to the periphery as a long-lived lineage of self-antigen-specific lymphocytes. iTregs are recruited from circulating lymphocytes and acquire regulatory properties under particular conditions of stimulation in the periphery. nTregs and iTregs are CD4+CD25+; both can inhibit proliferation of CD4+CD25− T cells in a dose-dependent manner, and both are anergic and do not proliferate upon TCR stimulation. In addition to being positive for CD4 and CD25, Tregs are positive for the transcription factor FOXP3, an intracellular marker. Tregs can be identified or selected based on various marker expression profiles. Non-limiting examples of marker expression profiles that can be used to select Tregs include (1) CD4+CD25+CD127dim, (2) CD4+FOXP3+, (3) CD3+CD4+CD25+, (5) CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127dim, (6) CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127dim FOXP3+, (7) CD3+FOXP3+, (8) CD3+CD4+FOXP3+, (9) CD3+CD4+CD25+FOXP3+, (10) CD3+CD25+FOXP3+, (11) CD3+CD25+CD127dim, (12) CD4+CD25+, (13) CD4+CD25+CD127dimFOXP3+, (14) FOXP3+, CD4+FOXP3+, (15) CD4+CD25+FOXP3+, (16) CD25+FOXP3+, or (17) CD25+CD127dim.

Selection based on certain expression profiles can be achieved based on extracellular markers and without requiring cell permeabilization, for example, selection based on CD4+CD25+CD127dim.

In the methods of the disclosure, administering Tregs to a subject receiving HCT can, for example, help to prevent graft rejection, help to prevent GVHD, help to reduce GVHD, promote hematopoietic reconstitution, promote immune reconstitution, promote mixed chimerism, or a combination thereof.

In the methods of the disclosure, Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKTs) can be administered to a subject. iNKTs are subclass of CD1d-restricted Natural Killer T (NKT) cells that express a highly conserved a(3-T cell receptor that comprises of Vα24Jα18 TCRα chain in humans (referred to herein as “Vα24Jα18k”). iNKT cells can be identified by binding with CD1d-multimers like that are loaded with α-galactosylceramide (GalCer), PBS-57, PBS-44 or other natural or synthetic glycolipids, and can be found as tetramers, dendrimers, and other structures, Fc fusions, or any combination thereof. Another method of identification is an antibody or combination of antibodies that specifically recognize the Vα24Jα18 region. Examples include a Vα24 antibody, a Jα18 antibody, or the monoclonal antibody clone 6B11 which binds specifically to a unique region of the Vα24Jα18 TCR and can be used to identify iNKT cells. iNKTs can be CD3⁺Vα24Jα18⁺.

In the methods of the disclosure, administering iNKTs to a subject receiving HCT can, for example, promote engraftment, promote GVT, reduce GVHD, decrease susceptibility to cancer relapse, decrease susceptibility to infection, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, iNKTs promote the activity of Tregs. In some embodiments, iNKTs promote the activity of HSPCs.

In the methods of the disclosure, memory T cells (Tmems) can be administered to a subject. Tmems can refer to antigen experienced T cells that express, for example, the phenotypic markers CD45RO, TCRα, TCRβ, CD3, CD4 or CD8, CD95, and IL-2Rβ. Memory T cells provide immunity and are capable of persisting for a long period of time in an inactive state. Memory T cells are able to rapidly acquire effector functions upon re-challenge with antigen. A population of memory T cells can include the any combination of the subclasses T central memory cells and T effector memory cells. In some embodiments, Tmems are CD3+CD45RA−CD45RO+. In the methods of the disclosure, Tmems administered to a subject receiving HCT can, for example, promote GVT, reduce GVHD, decrease susceptibility to cancer relapse, decrease susceptibility to infection, or a combination thereof.

HLA Types and Donor/Host Matching

The present disclosure provides methods comprising administering to a subject populations of cells. A population of cells to be administered to the recipient can be derived from an allogenic donor. A prospective and recipient can be HLA-typed in order to determine whether they are a match at any HLA alleles.

Human leukocyte antigens (HLA), also broadly referred to as Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens, are protein molecules expressed on the surface of a cell that can confer an antigenic identity to that cell. HLA/MHC antigens are target molecules that can be recognized by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells as being derived from the same source of hematopoietic stem cells as the immune effector cells (“self”), or as being derived from another source of hematopoietic cells (“non-self”). HLA class I antigens (A, B, and C in humans) are expressed by the vast majority of cells, while HLA class II antigens (DR, DP, and DQ in humans) expressed primarily on professional antigen presenting cells. Both HLA classes are implicated in GVHD.

HLA antigens are encoded by highly polymorphic genes; a range of alleles exist for each HLA class I and II gene. Allelic gene products differ in one or more amino acids in the a and/or 13 domain(s). Panels of specific antibodies or nucleic acid reagents are used to type HLA haplotypes of individuals, using leukocytes that express class I and class II molecules. HLA alleles can be described at various levels of detail. Most designations begin with HLA- and the locus name, then * and some (even) number of digits specifying the allele. The first two digits specify a group of alleles. Older typing methodologies often could not completely distinguish alleles, and so stopped at this level. The third through fourth digits specify a synonymous allele. Digits five through six denote any synonymous mutations within the coding frame of the gene. The seventh and eighth digits distinguish mutations outside the coding region. Letters such as L, N, Q, or S may follow an allele's designation to specify an expression level or other non-genomic data known about it. Thus, a completely described allele may be up to 9 digits long, not including the HLA-prefix and locus notation.

Three HLA genes are considered most critical for HLA typing of potential transplant donors and recipients, HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DR. As a human subject carries two copies of each, there are six total genes are HLA-typed.

HLA matched refers to a donor-recipient pair for which all six of the six HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DR alleles are matched between donor and recipient. HLA mismatched refers to a donor-recipient pair for which at least one HLA antigen is mismatched between the donor and recipient. GVHD can occur even if the donor and recipient are HLA-matched because the immune system can still recognize other differences between their tissues.

The set of HLA alleles inherited from one parent forms a haplotype. Identifying a patient's haplotypes can help predict the probability of finding matching donors and assist in developing a search strategy, because some alleles and haplotypes are more common than others and they are distributed at different frequencies in different racial and ethnic groups. HLA haploidentical refers to a donor-recipient pair where one chromosome is matched at least at HLA-A; HLA-B, and HLA-DR between the donor and recipient. The haploidentical pair may or may not be matched at other alleles, e.g., other HLA genes on the other chromosome, or additional histocompatibility loci on either chromosome. Such donors frequently occur in families, e.g. a parent is haploidentical to a child; and siblings may be haploidentical.

The present disclosure provides methods comprising administering to a subject populations of cells. A population of cells to be administered to the recipient can be derived from an allogenic donor.

In some embodiments, populations of cells as disclosed herein are administered to a recipient subject after HLA typing a donor and a recipient, e.g., determining whether a donor and a recipient are HLA-matched or HLA-mismatched by typing HLA alleles HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DR in the donor and the recipient. A donor-recipient pair of the disclosure can be HLA matched, HLA mismatched, or haploidentical. The donor and recipient can be related (for example, a parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, or cousin). The donor and recipient can be related and HLA matched, HLA mismatched, or haploidentical. The donor and recipient can be unrelated.

Chimerism

Following administration of transplant cells from a donor to a recipient, chimerism can be monitored in the recipient. Chimerism can refer to the mix of donor and host cells in an individual who has received a HCT. The risk of GVHD is markedly reduced in patients with mixed instead of complete chimerism, and achieving mixed chimerism is desirable for this reason. In addition, immunodeficiency and infection are more frequently observed in complete versus mixed chimerism. In some embodiments, the methods provided herein allow a human subject to achieve mixed chimerism.

Subjects who exhibit more than a 95% donor cells in a given cell lineage at any time post-transplantation can be referred to as having full donor chimerism. Subjects who exhibit greater than 1% but less than 95% donor DNA in such analysis can be referred to as having mixed chimerism. Subjects who exhibit mixed chimerism can be further classified according to the evolution of chimerism, where improving mixed chimerism can comprise a continuous increase in the proportion of donor cells over at least a 6-month period. Stable mixed chimerism can comprise fluctuations in the percentage of recipient cells over time, without complete loss of donor cells.

A determination of whether a subject is a full chimera, mixed chimera, or non-chimera can be made by an analysis of a hematopoietic cell sample from the graft recipient, e.g. peripheral blood or bone marrow. Analysis can be done by any convenient method of typing. In some embodiments, the degree of chimerism amongst all mononuclear cells, T cells, B cells, CD56+ NK cells, and CD15+ neutrophils is regularly monitored, using PCR with probes for microsatellite analysis. For example, commercial kits can be used to quantify donor and host genetic material extracted from cells based on polymorphisms in short terminal repeat lengths. Automated readers provide the percentage of donor type cells based on standard curves from artificial donor and host cell mixtures.

EXAMPLES Example 1: Clinical Trial Comprising Administering HSPC and Treg Prior to Tcon

This example illustrates the utility of method disclosed herein to treat subjects with cancer, including achieving immune reconstitution and GVT in the absence of GVHD.

This study included twelve patients with high risk malignancies who had HLA matched sibling donors. The study was approved by the Stanford Institutional Review Board (NCT01660607) and FDA IND 14686. Written informed consent was obtained for all patients and donors consistent with the Declaration of Helsinki.

Study Design

Patient characteristics are provided in FIG. 1 ; abbreviations are as follows: TBI, total body irradiation; Cy, Cytoxan; VP-16, etoposide; Bu, busulfan; AML, acute myeloid leukemia; CR, complete remission; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; RAEB2, refractory anemia of excess blasts 2; NHL, non-Hodgkins lymphoma; ETP-ALL, early T cell precursor acute lymphoplastic leukemia; MRD, minimal residual disease; CML, chronic myeloid leukemia; MF, myelofibrosis

After myeloablative conditioning, subjects were administered a population of HSPCs and a population of Tregs on day 0, followed by a population of Tcons on day 2. The primary objectives of the study were to determine the efficacy, safety and feasibility of this approach, to determine the maximum tolerated dose of infused Treg and Tcon, and to determine 1 year EFS post-HCT. Safety was assessed as any grade 2 or greater serious adverse event attributed to treatment, and specific dose limiting toxicity was defined as: Acute GVHD>grade 2, Grade 4 neutropenia lasting to 28 days after HCT, and Grade 3 to 5 cytokine/release syndrome/acute infusion reactions.

Inclusion criteria for enrollment were: Acute leukemia (primary refractory, CR1 with minimal residual disease (MRD) positive or high-risk features, beyond CR1), chronic myelogenous leukemia (accelerated or blast phase), myelodysplastic syndromes (Int-2 or high risk), myeloproliferative disorders, non-Hodgkin lymphoma with poor risk features not suitable for autologous HCT, age ≤60 years, availability of an HLA matched related donor and no prior myeloablative therapy or HCT.

The original clinical protocol schema is shown in FIG. 2A. Treg were administered with the HSPC donor graft, two days prior to Tcon administration. After accrual of the first cohort of five patients on the original protocol, GVHD was noted. The protocol was amended to utilize fresh rather than frozen Treg cells and to introduce targeted-dose single-agent tacrolimus (4-6 ng/ml) or sirolimus (6-8 ng/ml) GVHD prophylaxis (FIG. 2B).

Conditioning Regimens and Supportive Care

The clinical protocol supported the use of different myeloblative conditioning regimens depending upon the disease characteristics of enrolled subjects. For acute leukemia, high risk CML, myelodysplastic syndrome, and myeloproliferative disorders, conditioning included fractionated total body irradiation: fTBI (1320 cGy, fractionated over four days), VP16 (60 mg/kg, as a single infusion) and cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg, as a single infusion); or busulfan (3.6 mg/kg q24 initially, infused over 4 days, with targeting to busulfan level of 800-900 nM) and cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg, per infusion over two infusions). For non-Hodgkin lymphoma, conditioning consisted of carmustine (300 mg/m2), VP16 (60 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg).

Subjects on the original protocol received no GVHD prophylaxis, however after protocol modification subjects could receive either tacrolimus or sirolimus, based upon pre-clinical evidence that sirolimus facilitates Treg function. Following one case of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) in a subject with BU/Cy conditioning, sirolimus GVHD prophylaxis was restricted to only subjects with TBI-based conditioning.

Infectious disease prophylaxis consisted of acyclovir 400 mg TID PO (for 1 year), single strength Bactrim (day 30-60) and ciprofloxacin 500 mg PO BID (day −2 until engraftment). Viral surveillance via quantitative PCR was performed for EBV (every 2 weeks) and CMV (weekly) starting at Day+14 until Day+100.

Graft Engineering

Donor cells were obtained from volunteer donors by apheresis at Stanford Health Care after 5 daily doses of 10 mcg/kg rhG-CSF (Neupogen, Amgen, Thousand Oaks, Calif.) using a continuous-flow cell separator (SPECTRA; Cobe BCT). Two consecutive apheresis collections were performed on days 4 and 5 and the cell products were combined. CD34+ cells were collected using either the Isolex 300i (Baxter healthcare, Deerfield, Ill.) or the CliniMACS Cell Selection System (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergish Gladbach, Germany). The CD34 reduced (flow-through) fractions were retained and used for isolation of donor Treg. For cell selection, clinical grade reagents were used under Good Manufacturing Practice Conditions within the BMT Cellular Therapy Facility.

CD25+ cells were then selected from the CD34-depleted fraction using bead purification (Miltenyi). Tcon were obtained from the negative fraction and the positive fraction was used for Treg purification. CD4+CD25+CD127dim cells underwent further selection by FACS using a BD Influx cell sorter (BD Biosciences, San Jose Calif.). A representative analysis of cells collected after CD34+ selection, CD25+ cell selection and CD4+CD127+ cell sorting analyzed for CD4 and FoxP3 expression is shown in FIG. 3 . Enrichment of Tregs is shown following depletion of CD34+ cells by immunomagnetic selection (left panel), selection of CD25+ by immunomagnetic selection (middle panel) and purification by FACS sorting of CD4+CD127lowCD25+ cells (right panel). Representative plots are provided from one patient. As can be seen, high purity of Tregs were obtained. These cells were highly suppressive in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). FIG. 4A illustrates the percentage of CFSE^(dim) populations of T cells cultured HLA-mismatched PBMC with/without Treg (1:1 ratio) in allo-MLR, analyzed by FACS. For the MLR, enriched CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ cells (2×10⁵, MACS beads Miltenyi Biotech) from the donor peripheral blood or apheresis were set in triplicates in 96 well flat-bottom plates as Responders. Responders were labeled with CellTrace CFSE, according to the manufacturer's instructions at day 0 (Invitrogen, molecular probes), or pulsed with 1 μCi/well [³H, thymidine Perkin-Elmer] for the last 16 hours of the 5 day assay. Stimulators were a combination of 9 different buffy coats from healthy donors and were irradiated with cesium irradiator (¹⁵⁷Cs) at 33 Gy and were set in Responders to Stimulators (R:S) in 1:0, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4 ratios. Treg were added as suppressors in Responders to Suppressors (R:SUP) ratios of 1:1, 1:0.5, 1:0.25 and 1:10. The media (cRPMI) was supplemented with OKT3 (Miltenyi Biotech). Results were read at day 5 by flow cytometry (LSRII BD) or Beta counter reader (Tomtec, Wallac). Further results are presented in FIG. 4B-C.

For clinical sorting, the antibodies were re-purified over Protein A (or G) columns, held at low pH for 30 minutes. Antibodies were conjugated with FITC and Alexafluor 647, sterile filtered and stored in single use aliquots.

Dose Escalation and Graft Properties

After myeloablative conditioning, subjects were administered a population of HSPCs and a population of Tregs on day 0, followed by a population of Tcons on day 2.

The study involved a dose escalation scheme as illustrated in FIG. 5 . The Treg dose escalation was established as the ratio Treg:Tcon, with the initial dose cohort target dose of 1×10⁶ Treg/kg and 3×10⁶ CD3+ Tcon/kg in the first cohort of three patients. Since GVHD was observed in one patient, according to the predefined dose-escalation plan, the group underwent expansion to an additional three subjects at a Treg:Tcon ratio of 1:1, with 1×10⁶ Treg/kg and 1×10⁶ Tcon/kg. Since no dose limiting toxicity was observed in these additional subjects, the target dose was escalated to 3×10⁶ Treg/kg and 3×10⁶ CD3+ Tcon/kg. After no dose limiting toxicity was observed in three additional patients, the maximally tolerated target dose was established which was also the maximal technical dose of Treg that could be collected from two apheresis collections, and an additional three patients were accrued at this dose level. In a number of patients, achieving 3×10⁶ Treg/kg was not feasible and whatever cell dose achieved was administered.

A schematic of graft production and administration for the modified protocol with fresh Tregs is provided in FIG. 6 . All subjects at the 1.0×10⁶/kg Treg dose received this target dose of Treg, however not all subjects received a target dose of 3.0×106 Treg/kg. FIG. 7 shows the cell dose yields of subjects, with a median of 2.5×10⁶ Treg/kg administered (range 2.4-3.0×10⁶ Treg/kg). Median Treg recovery was 67% (range 50.7-87.8%) and median Treg purity was 94% (91-96%), based on FOXP3+ expression by intracellular cytokine staining. All but one patient achieved a CD34+ dose >2.0×10⁶ cells/kg, with a median dose of 3.9×10⁶ cells/kg (range 1.2-15.9×10⁶). Dosing details are provided in FIG. 8 .

Cell Infusion, Engraftment, and Clinical Outcomes

Clinical outcomes are summarized in FIG. 9 . No infusion reactions were observed. All twelve subjects achieved primary full donor engraftment, however one subject receiving the lowest dose level (1×10⁶ Treg/kg and 1×10⁶ CD3+ Tcon/kg) with high-risk RAEB-2 MDS had secondary graft failure. Including this subject, neutrophils reached 1.0×10⁹/L at a median of 11 days (10-16 days). Platelets reached 50×10⁹/L at a median of 16 days (9-25 days). Prior to protocol modification, three of five patients treated achieved a complete remission (2 of which remain in remission >1 year). Following protocol modification (to fresh Tregs with GVHD prophylaxis), five of seven patients achieved a complete remission (four of which remain in remission >1 year) and no GVHD was observed.

In an initial patient who received Treg:Tcon at a ratio of 1:3, acute GVHD grade III was observed. Therefore, the ratio was adjusted according to the protocol to 1:1 at a dose of 1×10⁶/kg for both Treg and Tcon. Of the first three subjects treated at this dose level, one case of acute GVHD was observed (grade III). An additional two patients were treated at this ratio. One additional patient developed acute grade I skin GVHD, which was steroid responsive.

The protocol was modified to use only fresh Treg and to include low dose single agent GVHD prophylaxis with sirolimus since this agent has been shown to be protective of Treg (FIG. 2 ). In clinical situations where the risk of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome may be increased with sirolimus, low dose tacrolimus was substituted. Following protocol modification, no additional cases of GVHD were observed in the subsequent seven patients, although one subject had a transaminitis and was treated for possible hepatic GVHD or medication intolerance, after medications were changed quick resolution of transaminitis was observed.

A total of eleven patients achieved survival >6 months and could be evaluated for chronic GVHD. At a median follow-up of 481 days (range 212-1887 days), two of the eleven subjects developed chronic GVHD, both of whom were in the initial protocol cohort. Both had prior grade III acute GVHD and chronic GVHD manifestations were skin-limited and steroid responsive. After protocol modification, no patients in the second cohort have developed chronic GVHD

After protocol modification, one patient conditioned with busulfan and cyclophosphamide conditioning and who received sirolimus for GVHD prophylaxis had mild SOS, treated to resolution with defibrotide and supportive care. Eleven of twelve patients experienced mucositis (4 with grade 1, 3 with grade 2 and 4 with grade 3).

Immune Reconstitution

In order to evaluate the immune reconstitution of patients enrolled in this research study, a comparison standard-of-care control cohort was identified, consisting of five concurrent patients who received myeloablative HCT and who had no acute or chronic GVHD or relapse. Using flow cytometry, immune cell subsets were quantified from frozen and thawed PBMCs at standardized time points after HCT (FIG. 10 ).

PBMCs from BMT patients with or without pre-infusion of Treg were recovered from liquid nitrogen. PBMCs were washed with MACS buffer and stained with a pan-PBMC panel or T_(reg) activation panel at 4° C. for 1 hr. After washing with MACS buffer, the stained cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde at 4° C. overnight. Flow cytometric analysis was performed on an LSR II and data were analyzed by FlowJo software. Viability staining was performed using 0.5 Cisplatinum (Fluidigm Cat #201064), for 5 min at room temperature. Cell surface antibody master mix was prepared and filtered through 0.2 μm filters. Cells were resuspended in the master mix and incubated for 30 min Cells were washed and incubated in the fixing solution prepared in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations (eBiosciences Cat #00-5523). The cells were fixed for 1 hr at room temperature, washed and then incubated with intracellular antibody mixture in permeabilization buffer (eBiosciences Cat #00-5523) for 1 hr.

Patients in the initial cohort showed relatively poor T, B, NK and Treg reconstitution compared to patients treated under the modified protocol or standard of care (FIG. 10 ). Patients treated on the modified protocol with fresh Treg appeared to have generally comparable immune reconstitution in T, B, NK, DC, and monocyte populations as compared to standard of care controls. The absolute number of iNKT cells was significantly lower in the first six months in both the initial and modified patient cohorts when compared to controls (two-tailed student T test, p<0.01).

Patients treated on the modified protocol with fresh Treg appeared to have comparable immune reconstitution in percentage and absolute value of Treg following HCT as compared to standard of care controls who had not developed acute or chronic GVHD (two-tailed student T test, p=0.01). Phenotypic characterization of Treg by flow cytometry showed no statistical differences in the expression of surface receptors CTLA-4, PD-1, CD62L, CD45 RO or FOXP3. This was confirmed by CyTOF with the additional observation that there appeared to be no increases in intracellular IFN-γ, TNF-α expression ex vivo and without stimulation. FIG. 11A illustrates characteristics of Tregs (gated on CD4+CD25+CD127dim) as quantified by flow cytometry on day 60 post-HCT. FIG. 11B illustrates characteristics of Tregs (gated on CD4+CD25+CD127dim) as quantified by CyTOF on day 60 post-HCT.

Treg TCR Repertoire Analysis

In order to assess TCR repertoire reconstitution of the Treg compartment following HCT, FACS was used to purify CD4+CD25+CD127dim Treg from patients at ˜day 90 post-transplant. For TCR repertoire analysis, Treg were enriched from PBMCs of patients by a two-step isolation procedure: CD25+ cells were isolated from PBMCs using CD25 MicroBeads II (Miltenyi Biotech) following the manufacturer's instructions. After staining with anti-CD3 (OKT3, BioLegend), −CD4 (OKT4, BioLegend), −CD8 (RPA-T8, BioLegend), −CD25 (BC96, BioLegend) and −CD127 (A019D5, BioLegend) antibodies, CD3+, CD4+, CD8−, CD25+, CD127dim cells were isolated, lysed by TRIzol® Plus reagent and stored at −80° C. Between 2,700-48,000 Treg cells were isolated.

Using RNA as a template, TCR Rep-Seq was performed using 5′RACE methodology with modified gene specific primers in the TCRA or TCRB constant region. The purified 5′RACE PCR products were processed to make sequencing libraries using the KAPA Hyper Prep kit. Sequencing was performed using an Illumina MiSeq reagent 500-cycle V2 kit by paired-end 250×2 cycles. The paired-end reads from the MiSeq were submitted to MixCR for TCRA and TCRB rearrangement analyses. The unique CDR3 amino acid sequences (CDR3 clones) for each sample were summarized based on the MixCR results. Single-copy CDR3 clones were removed. The frequency of a clonotype was calculated by the copy number of the clonotype divided by the total number of copies of all clonotypes in a sample. Data were subjected to bioinformatics analyses. There were no statistical differences in the diversity of Treg following either standard of care or the modified clinical trial protocol wherein fresh Tregs were administered (FIG. 11C).
